The rivetting tool is a chunk of 1" thick plate with an opening in it and a screw through the top. It is like a heavy duty C clamp. You held it in place, tightened the screw, and it rivetted the two pieces together.

If you were to have the backing plate off the vehicle, you could easily do it on an anvil or a vice. Alternatively, you could possibly tack weld it in situ with a mig welder.

The silver antisieze was the solution to the siezed adjusters on the Iltis. Use sparingly, because it doesn't belong on the drum surface.
